This is one of our favourite coffee makers. This is a syphon coffee marker or vacuum pot. The really interesting thing about this is how it makes the coffee. You start by boiling some water and putting it in the bottom chamber. You insert a filter and put the coffee in the top chamber. You then use a little burner with some methylated spirits in it to boil the water in the bottom chamber. As the water boils, the pressure increase and forces water into the top chamber to brew the coffee. The genius part is that any water that reaches the coffee if a few degrees colder than boiling, so it’s at perfect brewing temperature. When the water has finished boiling you extinguish the flame. Then as the glassware cools something really interesting happens. A partial vacuum is created in the bottom chamber which allows the brewed coffee to pass back through the filter into the bottom chamber. This makes an exceptionally clean, well brewed cup with a little bit of theatre thrown in. For the real discerning coffee geek, this coffee marker is a must have.
